14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola has recently added a new mobile phone to its ROKR music line, the MOTOROKR W6, a clamshell developed so as to fulfill the needs of both music and sports enthusiasts, thanks to a series of new tools that will allow users to organize their training sessions, keep track of their physical condition, and more.

The specification list of the handset also shows EDGE capabilities, Bluetooth technology with 2 STEREO capabilities, enabling users to listen to music through wireless headphones, Crystal Talk technology to improve sound quality, a 1.3-megapixel photo snapper that sports video recording capabilities and 20MB of internal memory, coupled with a microSD memory card slot that supports up to 2GB of additional storage space. The phone also includes Push-to-Talk capabilities, as well as a battery that can provide up to 400 minutes of talk time and up to 350 hours of standby time.
“The mobile phone is the device that accompanies the user throughout the day.
